Elyse Rapp, a 21-year-old white woman from Hollywood, Florida, was found dead on July 30, 1975. Her death was later linked by investigators to a cluster of unsolved killings labelled the Flat-Tire Murders, a series that stretched from early 1975 into early 1976 and involved numerous young women found in or near canals in Broward and Dade Counties.

Investigators described a suspected offender as a white male in his early twenties, physically fit, well dressed and manipulative, and suggested he may have been responsible for many deaths, though no definitive link was proved. No suspect was arrested or charged in Rapp’s murder.

Anyone who knew Elyse, saw her in south Florida around late July 1975, or has information about the Flat-Tire Murders is asked to come forward.
